I Became a Scoundrel From a Wealthy Family 41

## Chapter 41 – 04. As Long as It’s Not Me

+++

Unable to stay at her own place, Yoon Ha-young ended up receiving help from Seo Hyun-joo.
She didn’t know how Hyun-joo found out, but Hyun-joo contacted her first, offering to let her stay for a while.

“Come in.”
“Y-yes, excuse me….”

Yoon Ha-young, shrinking into herself, carefully took off her shoes and stepped inside.
As the team leader of a fairly well-known media company, Hyun-joo’s house was quite decent.

Even though it was a lease, it was roughly 40 pyeong (approximately 1420 square feet), the interior was very neat, and above all, the city’s night view visible through the living room window was beautiful.

“You can stay in that room over there. There’s a bathroom inside.”
“U-um, excuse me…!”

Ha-young stopped Hyun-joo, who was about to go into her own room after giving the bare minimum explanation.

“Thank you for letting me stay… and I’m sorry… in many ways… back then too, because of me…!”
“…”

Hyun-joo, looking at her, who had become so subdued, sighed.

“Go take a shower and sleep.”
“…”

She gave a response that could be perceived as somewhat cold and went into her room.
Ha-young bowed towards Hyun-joo’s closed door.
And after standing awkwardly for a few seconds, she hesitantly went into the room.

“…One room is bigger than my whole place.”

Her apartment, which was a mess with semen, was only about 4 pyeong (approximately 142 square feet) in size, despite costing a whopping 1.2 million won per month.

Since Ganghwa has high land prices, she would have reluctantly accepted it, but the real problem wasn’t that.

Shouldn’t people be able to live like human beings, at least?
The bathroom in her apartment was so small that she could barely use it to relieve herself and wash her face, and to take a proper shower, she had to use the public bathroom at the end of the hallway. A bathroom shared by an entire floor.

To turn on the air conditioning or heating, she had to go to room number 1 on each floor and ask them to turn it on.

Besides these, there were a ton of other ridiculous things.
And yet, they charged her 1.2 million won every month.

“Crazy bastard.”

How could she not swear in a situation like this?

– Victim or whatever, I don’t care! Since it happened while you were living there, you have to pay for the repairs with your own money!!

She recalled the argument with the landlord.
That pig-like woman said that she would have to replace all the wallpaper and flooring because of this incident, so she had to pay for all the costs, and if she didn’t pay, she would deduct it from her deposit.

A sigh and disillusionment washed over her.

No, a person,
A person is trembling with fear after going through a terrible experience, and the only thing they come and say in the midst of that is that?

It was fortunate that there was a police officer next to her, otherwise, she looked like she was about to hit her.

‘Is it because of me…’

Why is she being so hostile to me?
I’m just a victim.

Thud.

She took off her clothes and went into the bathroom.
The bathroom attached to the room was about the size of her studio apartment.

“…”

In one corner, there was a bathtub with a transparent partition, and in front of it was a shower booth.
She turned on the shower.

Swoosh.

Water of a moderately warm temperature poured out, and the inside of the bathroom quickly filled with steam.
The face reflected in the mirror gradually became obscured.

“That trash-like human… I wish they would just die…”

The next morning.

There was still quite a bit of time left after breakfast.
Hyun-joo was drinking coffee and checking her phone.

“…”

Yoon Ha-young watched her rapidly moving eyes behind her glasses and sipped her straw.

It was awkward.
Since she wasn’t close enough to chat comfortably with the team leader, it was inevitably uncomfortable.
It was only recently that they had gotten this close.

“Um… Team Leader.”
“Yes.”
“You don’t… use a home robot?”
“I do.”
“But where is it…?”
“I bought a new one recently. I discarded the old one according to the delivery date, but suddenly they said it was delayed. I’m living without it for a while.”
“Ah… I see…”

Silence fell again.
Then,
Hyun-joo put down her phone.

“Ha-young.”
“Y-yes?”
“What I mentioned before, would you be able to do it today? You don’t have to force yourself if it’s too difficult. Especially after what happened yesterday.”
“What…?”
“Leaking the list of those found not guilty. That way, I can capture it and upload an article.”
“Ah…!”

The list of those found not guilty!

Yesterday’s memories came back to her.

The shock of discovering that Rainbow Miracle was not guilty,
The nauseating stench of blood she first encountered at the Dream First execution site,
Prosecutor Lee Na-eun’s words that flew into her brain with every sentence.

‘Haha… yesterday was really…’

Really,
It was a fantastic day.

“Can you keep doing special investigations?”
“…”

Honestly, she wasn’t confident.
Putting aside the fear, could she endure with this constantly wavering heart?

– Are you saying that as long as you can catch Rainbow Miracle, you don’t care what happens to the rest?

‘…’

Prosecutor Lee Na-eun’s words, which remained vividly in her heart, resurfaced.
And stimulated her again.

“I… I don’t know…”
“…”
“I don’t know what to do… I really… am I on the right path…”
“Where did your old spirit go? When I told you to get your articles reviewed, you used to insist that your articles were perfect and argue back.”
“…”

She hung her head.
She had nothing to say.

Hyun-joo got up without a word and placed a card on the table.
It was a luxurious-looking card with an overall black color and gold trim.

“Rest for a while. I’ll leave the card, so order food with it.”
“Yes?? N-no, you don’t have to go that far…!”

Hyun-joo went out the front door and left for work.

“…”

– Ding.

A text message arrived,

– I need to fill the card’s performance, so do as I say without complaining. It’s surprisingly hard to fill.
“…”

Does that even make sense?

Yoon Ha-young felt absurd, but soon smiled.
It felt like a little bit of warm light was entering her increasingly desolate heart.

“Thank you… Team Leader…”

Lunch.

As a sign of minimal conscience and gratitude, Yoon Ha-young, who had thoroughly cleaned every corner of the house, ordered a hamburger with the card Hyun-joo had given her.
She thought that it would be impolite to refuse too much when she was being so considerate, even saying such absurd things in a text message.

But,

“Why is the payment amount… like this??”

Something was wrong.

It was clearly 15,900 won, including 10,900 won for the Quatro Maximum Meat Onion Focused Amazing Ultimate Grilled Patty of the Biggest for Super Meat Freak Premium Legend Cheese Steak Burger set and 5,000 won for delivery, but when she tried to pay, it was 1,590 won.

Thinking it was an error, she checked the details and saw that a whopping 90% discount had been applied.

‘Was there an event like this?’

She searched, but there was no such event.
There were no coupons either.

Just in case, she tried to make a payment at another store.

“Here too, a 90% discount is being applied.”

She canceled the payment and looked for another store.

“Here too…!”

She looked at about five places, and all of them had a 90% discount applied.

At this point, there must be something on the card.
Only then did she examine the card closely.

“Korea… Prestige…?”

The issuer wasn’t Korea Card, but Korea Prestige.

“Royal Exclusive…?”

And even a more ominous phrase!

“Korea Prestige Royal Exclusive VIP Card? Why does Team Leader have something like this-,”

As she fell into doubt, her eyes began to widen at some point.

“…Could it be.”

She felt that ominous feeling again.
The blood in her body dried up, and her peripheral nerves became tense.

+++

“Did you do it properly?”
“Yes. She’s a meticulous child with a quick mind, so she’ll definitely discover it.”
“Is that so?”

He slowly savored Hyun-joo’s words as she reported naked.

Yoon Ha-young, the reporter who suddenly couldn’t sleep at her own house, was allowed to stay at Hyun-joo’s house,
And she was given a card to use while resting for a few days.
That card was a special card issued for the purpose of giving it to my sex slaves, so it has benefits that are generally unimaginable.

90% discount on all items within a limit of 10 million won.

Well, that’s only within the scope of Korea Group’s power, but that’s practically synonymous with South Korea, so you can basically live on a 90% discount up to 10 million won every month.

Anyway, since the card is an absurd item, a person with a quick wit would look at it and wonder, ‘What is this?’ and discover Korea Prestige something something.

‘And they’ll suspect. Whether there’s a reasonable reason for Seo Hyun-joo to have such an absurd card.’

There’s only one reason.

That she was summoned to a certain mansion and raped for failing to manage her subordinate.
Otherwise, there’s no reason for Seo Hyun-joo to be associated with Korea Prestige.

At least from Yoon Ha-young’s perspective.

“Good job. Come here and suck.”

As he spread his legs, Seo Hyun-joo, who was standing naked, quickly came between his legs and knelt down.
And opened her red lips and swallowed his dick.

Slurp,
Glurp.

She swallowed until her nose touched and pressed against his groin and her glasses became stained,
And spat it out until her lips were on his glans.

And repeated that quickly.

“Act as suspiciously as possible when you come tomorrow. So that Reporter Yoon Ha-young will follow you.”
